Here it is, the 2025 Melbourne Cup. Chris Waller has an outstanding team and the class runner of that lot is BUCKAROO (2) who is coming through the Cox Plate, going down by a nose to champion mare Via Sistina. His run as favourite in the Cup last year was full of merit, tracking very wide and getting a mile back. The draw is much kinder this year and he's going as well as ever while getting conditions to suit. VALIANT KING (24) is flying. He relished a brutal tempo two back to win the G3 Bart Cummings and was the eye-catcher in the Caulfield Cup, finishing better than anything for third. He should lap up 3200m now and also draws well. RIVER OF STARS (21) was a far better run out to 2400m in the Caulfield Cup and will stay the trip strongly up on speed. AL RIFFA (1) is a 3x G1 winner overseas, dominant in the Irish St Leger last time. He's weighted right up to his best but can't be left out. MEYDAAN (8) had excuses but got going again late in the Caulfield Cup, J-Mac on is a huge plus.
